BAODING, China, August 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Orient Paper, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ONP) (“Orient Paper” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of diversified paper products in North China, today announced its preliminary unaudited results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company will file its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will announce, through a press release, its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 after market closes on Wednesday, August 13, 2014.

Monthly utilization rate of PM6 consistently high at approximately 75% throughout Q2

Revenue up 14.5% YoY while no significant change in gross profit YoY due to lower ASP for CMP

Achieved early completion of PM1 renovation in April and production ramp up in June

Mr. Zhenyong Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Orient Paper, commented, “We are pleased to report strong growth in our revenue, thanks to the successful ramp up of our PM6 with a monthly utilization rate of approximately 75% throughout the period, resulting in a 23% increase in production volumes of our regular high-strength CMP. The 75% utilization has better absorbed our fixed facility cost and mitigated the effect of a modestly lower ASP for CMP experienced in the quarter as we had advised the market earlier this month. While the consolidation in our domestic paper manufacturing sector will continue, we expect market conditions to improve in the second half of 2014 and the pricing for CMP to make a mild recovery from the second quarter.”
